Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing spinning reel that is reduced in size and weight, and more particularly, to a fishing spinning reel having a handle portion.

  In recent years, fishing lines wound around fishing spinning reels (hereinafter also referred to as spinning reels or reels) have become thinner and stronger than conventional nylons and fluorolines due to the rise of PE lines and the like. Since more strong fishing lines can be wound, a reel body having a smaller size is used. In lure fishing, since a lighter reel is preferable, a small reel is increasingly used with a strong load.

  In order to improve the handleability of the reel, it is preferable to reduce the reel body in size and weight, and there is room for sufficient consideration regarding the handle that is a component of the reel. Moreover, it is preferable that a general-purpose small-sized reel (a lure reel or a reel used in a shallow place) can be provided to the user at as low a cost as possible (material cost, manufacturing cost, etc. are reduced).

  Here, the weight reduction of the spinning reel handle is examined. When the spinning reel is used for lure fishing such as bass fishing, the angler throws a device and then shakes the fishing rod. At this time, if the handle is heavy, the handle may rotate together with the shake operation, and the device may be wound up. If the device is rolled up, the lure (including pseudo bait such as a worm) rises from the target shelf, and the fishing results are affected.

  In addition, at the point of sale, the user must attach the spinning reel to the fishing rod, rotate the handle strongly and release it (also referred to as a flip operation), and evaluate the balance of the spinning reel by looking at the state of the swing. It is carried out. An expensive type spinning reel has a double handle (knobs are arranged at intervals of 180 °) and is not shaken greatly because of the good balance of rotation of the handle. In such a single handle type, a large centrifugal force acts, and accordingly, the reel body is also shaken greatly. For this reason, in order to improve the balance in the flip operation, the handle is preferably made as light as possible.

JP 2006-61123 A

  As described above, when a reel with a reduced size is put on the market, it is desirable to reduce the cost as much as possible. Therefore, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, the handle is a single handle, and the arm portion is effectively made of an aluminum alloy with a circular cross-sectional structure. That is, with such a handle, it is only necessary to turn the arm portion and bend a predetermined portion, so that the cost can be reduced.

  However, a single type handle made of a conventional aluminum alloy is premised on having high strength, and it does not take into account the problems in the shake operation described above and the problems in the flip operation. Absent. Also, if a large hoisting load is applied when the handle rotates, such as winding a large fish during actual fishing, the internal gear may be damaged. Conventionally, attention is paid to gear damage due to the handle. That is not done.

  Generally, in a small spinning reel, if a hoisting operation is performed with a certain amount of heavy load (the load of about 3 to 4 kg and the winding force of the handle is about 7 to 10 kg), the expensive gear is damaged. As a result, a heavy burden is placed on the user. In other words, when the handlebars are maintained at a certain level of strength and a large hoisting load is applied, the handlebars that are easy to replace and less expensive without damage to the gear are broken (mainly deformed). It is more preferable. However, if the handle is extremely lightened or the arm portion is processed to be thin, the necessary minimum strength cannot be obtained, and the appearance is poor, which is not preferable.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problem, and in a handle of a general small general-purpose fishing spinning reel, when a constant hoisting load is applied, the gear is not damaged, It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle that can be reduced in weight and a fishing spinning reel equipped with such a handle.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, the fishing spinning reel handle according to the present invention includes a rotating base portion that is attached to a handle shaft of the reel body at one end and a support portion that rotatably attaches a handle knob to the other end. The arm has an arm formed of a metal material, and the arm has an outer peripheral surface formed in a substantially circular cross section, and a distance between the shaft centers between the rotating base and the support portion. Is L and the diameter at the root position on the rotation base side of the arm is D, 30 mm ≦ L ≦ 68 mm, 0.013L + 4.6 ≦ D ≦ 0.027L + 5.1, And

  The handle with the above configuration is designed to be mounted on a miniaturized general-purpose spinning reel. The arm rotates at one end with a rotating base that is mounted on the handle shaft of the reel body, and at the other end with a handle knob. It is possible to manufacture at a low cost because it is configured to be formed of a metal material. In addition, when the distance between the axes of the rotation base and the support portion is L and the diameter at the root position on the rotation base side of the arm is D, the arm has 0.013L + 4.6 ≦ D ≦ 0.027L + 5. Since the arm is formed so as to have a diameter of 1., the arm diameter does not become unnecessarily thick. Therefore, for example, in a structure formed of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, the weight can be reduced. That is, if the diameter D of the arm exceeds 0.027L + 5.1, the arm becomes excessively thick, and the weight becomes heavy and the strength is increased, so that a large load acts. When doing so, the gear part will be damaged first. Also, if the arm diameter D is smaller than 0.013L + 4.6, the weight can be reduced, but the arm becomes thin, the necessary strength cannot be obtained sufficiently, and the appearance is also thin. This is not preferable.

  That is, in consideration of the distance L (handle size) between the shaft centers of the handle arms, the diameter D at the root position on the rotation base side is in the range of 0.013L + 4.6 ≦ D ≦ 0.027L + 5.1. If it is inside, the weight can be reduced, and when shaking during actual fishing, the handle is prevented from rotating carelessly, and the reel body can be prevented from swinging greatly even after flipping. Is done. Further, even if a large load is applied during actual fishing, the handle portion is bent first, such as bending, so that the gear portion can be prevented from being damaged and the necessary minimum strength is ensured. In this case, the present invention restricts L ≦ 68 mm, but this takes into consideration a general-purpose small spinning reel. That is, the present invention is not a handle structure for a long reel for long throwing or a large spinning reel requiring a large hoisting force. Further, since the restriction is 30 mm ≦ L, even a small spinning reel is not intended for a handle that is difficult to operate when lure fishing is performed.

  And this invention is a spinning reel for fishing equipped with the above handles.

  According to the present invention, in a general small-sized general-purpose fishing spinning reel, when a constant hoisting load is applied, a gear can be obtained without damaging the gear and such a handle can be obtained. A fishing spinning reel with a special handle is provided.

The side view which shows one structural example of the spinning reel for fishing equipped with the handle which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention. The figure which looked at the spinning reel for fishing shown in FIG. 1 from back. The figure which shows the structure of a handle | steering-wheel part. (A) is sectional drawing along the AA line of FIG. 3, (b) is sectional drawing which shows the modification of an arm, (c) is sectional drawing which shows another modification of an arm. The distribution map which specified and displayed the preferred range about the size and thickness of a handle.

  Embodiments of a fishing spinning reel handle according to the present invention and a fishing spinning reel equipped with such a handle will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS.

First, an outline of the overall configuration of a fishing spinning reel will be described.
A reel body 1 constituting a fishing spinning reel includes a reel leg 1a mounted on a fishing rod. A rotor 3 is rotatably supported in front of the reel leg 1a. A spool 5 is provided which is movably supported and on which a fishing line is wound.

  A handle shaft (drive shaft) is rotatably supported in the reel body 1, and a handle 10 is attached to the protruding end portion. Further, a winding drive mechanism is engaged with the handle shaft. As is well known, the take-up drive mechanism is attached to the handle shaft and has a drive gear (drive gear) with internal teeth formed therein, and meshes with the drive gear and extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle shaft. And a pinion gear formed with a hollow portion extending in the axial direction.

  A spool shaft that rotatably supports the spool 5 is inserted into the pinion gear so as to be movable back and forth in the axial direction. A known oscillating mechanism is engaged with the rear side of the spool shaft, and when the handle 10 is rotated, the spool 5 is reciprocated back and forth via the oscillating mechanism and the spool shaft. The rotor 3 is fixed to the pinion gear by tightening a rotor nut on the front side of the pinion gear. Accordingly, when the handle 10 is wound up, the rotor 3 is rotated, and the spool 5 is reciprocated back and forth in synchronism with this rotation, and the fishing line guide device (line roller) rotates together with the rotor 3. Is wound around the spool 5.

Next, the configuration of the handle 10 will be described.
The handle 10 includes a rotation base portion 11a attached to the handle shaft of the reel body at one end, and a support portion 11f rotatably attached to the handle knob 20 at the other end, and has an arm 11 formed of a metal material. doing. In this case, for the metal material, it is preferable to use an aluminum alloy that can be reduced in weight and can be easily bent when an excessive load is applied. In addition to the aluminum alloy, aluminum, stainless steel, stainless alloy, etc. You may form by.

  The rotation base 11a has a substantially hemispherical shape whose surface bulges outward in the handle shaft direction, and a fitting hole 11b extending in the axial direction so as to be attached to the handle shaft. Is formed. The outer peripheral surface 11c on the end side where the fitting hole 11b is formed has a non-circular cross section, and the rotation of the arm is transmitted to the handle shaft when this portion is fitted to the handle shaft. A screw 13 is screwed into the fitting hole 11b from the opposite side of the reel body 1, and the handle 10 can be rotated with respect to the reel body 1 by screwing the screw 13 into the fitting hole 11b. It is attached to. Although the left handle is shown in the drawing, it can be changed to the right handle by fitting the handle to the right end of the handle shaft and attaching the screw 13 from the left side.

  The support portion 11f is press-fitted and fixed to the fitting portion 11d at the other end of the arm 11 in parallel with the handle shaft, and the handle knob 20 is rotatably supported on the outer periphery thereof. For this reason, the fitting hole 11b and the support part 11f of the rotation base part 11a have the shaft core extending in the same direction as the handle shaft, and the distance L between the two shaft cores defines the size of the handle. That is, if the distance L between the shaft centers is increased, the handle structure is suitable for a large spinning reel. In this case, in the present invention, the distance L is 68 mm or less because it is specified to be suitable for a general general-purpose small spinning reel. As for the lower limit, since the present invention targets a general-purpose small spinning reel, the lower limit is 30 mm or more in consideration of its winding operability.

  As described above, in the present invention, in order to reduce the cost of the handle portion as much as possible, the single handle type is provided with one handle knob 20. The arm 11 of the present embodiment has a substantially circular outer peripheral surface. Made of aluminum alloy with a cross-sectional structure. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the rotor 3 rotates, the intermediate portion 11h of the arm 11 is curved so as not to interfere with the rotation operation of the handle.

  Since the arm 11 described above can be formed by turning a columnar aluminum alloy while turning it into a columnar shape and then bending it, the cost can be reduced. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape is circular (diameter D) as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG.4 (b), after processing to a column shape, you may give milling process and may form the flat surface 11k etc. in part, In this invention, such cross-sectional shape is also abbreviated. Define as a circle. Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 (c), the cavity part 11m may be formed in the inside, and a hollow cylindrical shape may be sufficient as a whole. In this way, the handle portion can be reduced in weight by making the arm portion a hollow cylindrical shape.

  The arm 11 may be formed with the same thickness (the same diameter D) from the base end (base position) of the rotation base portion 11a to the support portion 11f, but the diameter gradually becomes smaller as it reaches the support portion 11f. It may be a configuration (a taper is formed on the surface). By gradually reducing the diameter of the surface in this way, the weight on the handle knob side is reduced, so the rotational moment is reduced and the handle is prevented from rotating inadvertently even if a shake operation is performed during actual fishing. The In other words, the arm 11 is a portion where the root position 11e of the rotation base 11a (the inflection point region transitioning from the rotation base to the arm) is the thickest.

As described above, an object of the present invention is to prevent damage to the gear by first bending the handle (particularly the arm portion) when a large load is applied during actual fishing while reducing the weight of the handle. To do. For this reason, the thickness of the arm 11 is set to be in an optimum range in relation to the length of the handle 10. Here, the size of the handle 10 is specified by the distance L between the axes of the arms described above, and the thickness thereof is the base end 11e (base position) on the rotation base 11a side as shown in FIG. By specifying the cross-sectional position along the line A and appropriately determining the relationship between the two, the object can be achieved.
Hereinafter, the relationship (the distance L between the shaft centers and the diameter D at the root position) specified by the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the distribution diagram of FIG.

  First, with a small general-purpose reel, considering the lower limit of 30 mm and the upper limit of 68 mm (specified by the distance L between the shaft centers) and the upper limit of 68 mm, an appropriate thickness at the root position ( A prediction was made for diameter D). Here, the appropriate thickness is the thickness (maximum thickness) at which the handle can be damaged when the handle is subjected to a large rotational load, such as the handle being bent before the gear is damaged. The thickness (minimum thickness) can be obtained without giving the impression that it is too much and with the effect of being able to cope with a certain level of hoisting force. In this case, the maximum thickness is made thinner in consideration of the handle (thick handle with secured strength) mounted on the conventional small spinning reel, and the minimum thickness is It takes into account the extent that it does not become too thin in appearance.

  The handle made of aluminum alloy with L of 30 mm has a maximum thickness of about 5.9 mm thinner than the conventional handle, and the handle with L of 68 mm has a maximum thickness of 6.9 mm thinner than the conventional handle. If it is a grade, it is estimated that the above-mentioned effect will be obtained. Therefore, when L is in the range of 30 mm to 68 mm, considering the correlation between the length and the thickness, if the diameter D is determined to be less than 0.027L + 5.1 which is a straight line connecting these two points, the above-mentioned is sufficient. It seems that it is possible to achieve the function and effect.

  In addition, in the handle made of an aluminum alloy having a size of 30 mm, the minimum thickness is about 5.0 mm so that the handle is not too thin, and in the handle having a size of 68 mm, the minimum thickness is It is expected that the thickness should be about 5.5 mm so that it does not become too thin, and if it is at least about this thickness, it is expected that it can sufficiently cope with a certain level of winding force. Therefore, when L is in the range of 30 mm to 68 mm, considering the correlation between the length and thickness, if the diameter D is determined to exceed 0.013L + 4.6, which is a straight line connecting these two points, the above-mentioned is sufficient. It seems that it is possible to achieve the function and effect.

  In the distribution diagram shown in FIG. 5, when the diameter D at the base position of the arm exceeds 0.027L + 5.1, it is a case where the gear is damaged without damaging the handle when a large load is applied. (Regions A, B, and C), which is a single handle of a spinning reel that is generally commercially available, and a handle having a substantially circular cross section in which an arm portion is formed of an aluminum alloy has a diameter D, It is formed far exceeding the condition of 0.027L + 5.1. That is, the handle portion is designed not to be damaged even if a large hoisting load is applied to the handle when a large fish is caught during actual fishing. As described above, the handle having a sufficient winding strength has a heavy weight when shaken or flipped, and thus the above-described problem occurs.

  On the other hand, if the diameter D at the base position of the arm is less than 0.013L + 4.6, it is not preferable because it gives the user a thin feeling in appearance, such as over-the-counter sales, and when the handle is rolled up, The necessary minimum winding load cannot be secured, and the handle portion is bent even with a weak winding force.

  From the above viewpoint, the arm 11 is formed so as to satisfy the condition of 0.013L + 4.6 ≦ D ≦ 0.027L + 5.1 (corresponding to the E region in FIG. 5), thereby making the arm thicker than necessary. It is possible to reduce the weight without increasing the strength and to prevent the gear portion from being damaged when a large load is applied. Further, the handle in such an E region does not make the arm too thin, provides the necessary strength, and does not give a thin impression in appearance.

Further, when the arm 11 is thicker than necessary, the following problems have occurred. However, the present invention does not cause such a problem because the arm 11 becomes thin.
If the arm is thick, the difference between the inner side R and the outer side R becomes large when bending is performed, and the appearance is likely to be wrinkled, and it is necessary to perform a surface treatment for eliminating such a wrinkle, resulting in an increase in cost. As described above, since the arm becomes thin, such a surface treatment process can be eliminated or simplified, so that the processing cost is reduced. Also, if the arm is thick, the surface area becomes large and it takes time to buff, but if the arm is thin, the surface finish becomes simple and the processing cost is low. Furthermore, when the arm becomes thicker, it becomes easier to rotate due to the influence of wind during actual fishing, but when the arm is thin, it becomes difficult to be affected by the wind.

  Actually, the sample handle corresponding to each region (A to I) is made of aluminum alloy based on the distribution diagram shown in FIG. 5, and its weight, the gear strength disposed in the reel body, the handle An evaluation test was conducted on the strength and the operability of the steel (the handles attached to the conventional spinning reel correspond to the regions B and C). In this evaluation, the weight is the weight of the handle portion, and the gear strength is whether or not the gear is broken before the handle is broken (bent) when a large load is applied. It is the strength of the handle and whether or not the handle is damaged (bent) before the gear when a large load is applied, and whether the handle is easy to wind when the handle is rolled up (Sensory evaluation by multiple people).

  Since the present invention limits the size of the handle to (arm distance L) of 30 mm to 68 mm, the handles in the regions A, D, G and C, F, I of the distribution map are the present invention. The evaluation results are shown for reference. Further, the handle in the area B is a conventional handle, and the handle in the area E is a handle targeted by the present invention. The handle in the region H is a handle having a small diameter with respect to the distance L.

  Below, the evaluation result of each item is shown by (circle), (triangle | delta), and x, all the items are digitized and the evaluation score which made the highest score 12 points | pieces is shown. Here, the sample in the area A is a handle having L = 28 mm and D = 6.7 mm. The sample in the B region is a handle with L = 45 mm and D = 7.3 mm. The sample in the region C is a handle with L = 70 mm and D = 7.6 mm. The sample in the D region is a handle with L = 25 mm and D = 5.0 mm. The sample in the E region is a handle with L = 50 mm and D = 5.5 mm. The sample in the F region is a handle with L = 75 mm and D = 6.0 mm. The sample in the G region is a handle with L = 25 mm and D = 4.0 mm. The sample in the H region is a handle with L = 50 mm and D = 4.0 mm. The sample in the I region is a handle with L = 75 mm and D = 4.5 mm.

  As shown in the table, the handle in the range of B (A, C) is heavy because it has sufficient strength, and if a large load is applied, the gear will be damaged before the handle breaks. Results were obtained. For this reason, although the strength of the handle is sufficiently ensured, the effects as in the present invention cannot be achieved. In addition, since the handle in the range of H (G, I) is too light, the operability is good if the size is small, but if a large load is applied, the handle is damaged (bent) first. As a result, the handle was bent even when a certain load was applied, and the strength of the handle was insufficient. A spinning reel equipped with a handle in the range of D and F is not necessarily sufficient as a handle, but the handle is too small or too large. The operability was inferior.

  That is, according to the handle according to the present invention (the handle in the E region) and the spinning reel equipped with such a handle, a good evaluation result is obtained, the operability is good, and the handle portion is necessary. Since the minimum strength is ensured, the gear is not damaged, and a certain winding strength can be secured. Further, since the weight of the handle can be effectively reduced, it is possible to suppress unnecessary rotation of the handle portion.

As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, It can change variously.
In the configuration described above, the arm has a curved portion formed in the middle portion, but the outer shape can be appropriately modified. Further, the mounting structure of the handle to the reel body and the shape of the surface can be modified as appropriate. Furthermore, the root position for specifying the arm diameter may be a part that moves from the hemispherical bulging base to the main body of the arm, and if the inflection point is clear, it is specified at that position. If the curved portion is curved, it is specified at an intermediate position.
